"I may be what is called a spinster, but I do know the difference between murder and horseplay.... If you imagine that I am going to sit back and let everyone regard me as a dotty old maid, you are very much mistaken." With scads of local color, these early 1960s films starring the inestimable Margaret Rutherford tend more toward the humorous than the scary. In Murder, She Said (based on 4:50 from Paddington), Miss Marple masquerades as a maid to ferret out the whereabouts of a body she saw thrown from a train. Fellow British thespians Robert Morley and Flora Robson help her investigate a probable homicide at a riding resort in Murder at the Gallop, whereas in Murder Ahoy she sails the high seas to solve the murder of a ship's trusteeŚmuch to the annoyance of its captain. Murder Most Foul (a.k.a. Mrs. McGinty's Dead) finds the dauntless detective doing jury duty and then infiltrating an acting company to identify the killer hiding among them. Ron Moody (Fagin in Oliver!) co-stars.
